"at least they weren't fucking toddlers" is a pretty jaw-dropping defense
Predictable but still amazing to watch people who spent literally years accusing every librarian, teacher, and trans person they could find of sexually grooming children suddenly throw themselves in with "actually it's ephebophilia"
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Corporate Dem apologists are out in force today trying to rewrite this capitulation into a win somehow. They’re back to blaming progressives and ignoring the corruption in their own party.

Establishment democrats are a pressure-release valve for republicans: beholden to the same capitalists, their goals are the same. They're just there to give you the illusion of choice
the Democrats have lost MattY, Chait, even fucking Chris Cilizza on this cave
as far as I can tell the entire list of people in or around Democratic politics who think this vote was a good idea consists of the people who took the vote and whoever else in the caucus silently supported them

"Democrats could have held the line on the shutdown, and spent weeks watching Trump’s approval ratings fall," writes @jonathanbchait.bsky.social

it cant be emphasized enough the gop has the tools to pass a budget on its own. capitulation could not send a clearer message that the filubuster is the most important thing to our senators
Let’s be 100% clear:
If Dems cave right now instead of Reps nuking the filibuster, then Dems will be solely responsible for our healthcare costs skyrocketing, and handing Trump pure unlimited power.
Telling your opposition (who is trying to kill you) that you will always fold.

@captmarkkelly.bsky.social if my wife were shot in the head by a right-wing lunatic, nothing in the universe, much less AIPAC donations, would keep me from burning the movement to the ground. I would be boiled to death in oil before I collaborated with the movement

After the largest peaceful pro-democracy demonstrations in American history, and a blue wave election where voters clearly and loudly said FIGHT ALL OF THIS CHAOS, it is malpractice and disqualifying for an elected Democrat to suggest caving to Trump.
I'm looking in your direction, Chuck Schumer.

"a more moderate Democrat would've won by even more" idk there's a reason Mamdani is mayor and not one of the other 10 guys who ran against Cuomo in the primary, most of whom were more moderate than him?
Damn, I hate it when things that happen mean nothing :-(

The "fuck your feelings crowd" has basically no idea how done with their shit everyone is
Republican voters solemnly posting about how sad it is that their neighbors hate their guts is so funny - yeah man, that's what you've been thumping your chest about for two years, the thing you wanted to happen happened

I've been saying this for a while. Redrawing based on the 2024 maps will likely backfire spectacularly. Ofc they will use that result to reject the results, but IDK how much that will matter if we're in a 1936-style election environment
Of course the risk of doing radical mid-decade gerrymandering for Rs in midterms always was that they weakened a lot of formerly safe Repub districts by moving R voters into Dem districts, which would backfire spectacularly if you have a blue wave scenario - making it a tsunami.
